I've been using .NET 4.0 C# Windows Form Application utilizing the chart controls to render a chart on my form. I've recently had to switch to .NET 3.5 to use a reference that doesn't support 4.0. Now, I can’t use the chart controls for my application.
I’ve downloaded and installed the recommended packages:
Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14422
Microsoft Chart Controls Add-on for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=23903
But my problem is that I am using Visual Studio 2010, the add-on is only for vs2008.
I had to select 'Show All' on the toolbox in order to even see the chart option, but now it is disabled and when I attempt to click and drag I get a error icon as my mouse pointer.
I tried to upload the image that shows the disabled chart, but SO wouldnt let me.
Is there any way that I can use the .Net 3.5 Chart Controls with VS2010?
Thanks,
Bryan

Right click into toolbox

filter for "chart"
check out chart-checkboxes
Now they should be available.
